Fats Navarro • The Fabulous Fats Navarro Vol. 2 

 

Review from AllMusic (by Stephen Cook): Picking up some of the slack from the first volume, The Fabulous Fats Navarro, Vol. 2 takes in two fine 1948 sessions featuring the bebop trumpeter. The first three cuts come from a Tadd Dameron-led date featuring top players like Dexter Gordon, Cecil Payne, Kai Winding, Sahib Shihab, and Kenny Clarke. The group avails itself nicely on Dameron originals like the mercurial Latin cut "Jahbero" (including congas and bongos), the classic "Lady Bird," and the predictably complex "Symphonette." Navarro runs the gamut here, turning in both high-flying solos and gracefully cool statements. And with enough in the way of engaging solo work, the alternate takes of all three of these tracks prove to be more than just filler. The remainder is culled from a session Navarro co-led with trumpeter Howard McGhee, and includes collaborative numbers like "The Skunk," "Boperation," and an alternate take of "Double Talk." The group also features Ernie Henry, Milt Jackson, Curly Russell, and Kenny Clarke.

Resena de AllMusic (por Stephen Cook): El segundo volumen de The Fabulous Fats Navarro completa en parte lo presentado en el primer volumen e incluye dos excelentes sesiones de 1948 en las que participa el trompetista de bebop. Las tres primeras piezas proceden de una sesion dirigida por Tadd Dameron, con destacados musicos. El grupo se desenvuelve especialmente bien en originales de Dameron como el dinamico corte latino "Jahbero", con congas y bongos, el clasico "Lady Bird" y la compleja "Symphonette". Navarro muestra aqui toda su amplitud expresiva, alternando solos de gran intensidad con intervenciones de elegante serenidad. Las tomas alternativas de estos tres temas resultan especialmente interesantes y no son simplemente material adicional. El resto procede de una sesion codirigida por Navarro y el trompetista Howard McGhee, e incluye temas conjuntos como "The Skunk", "Boperation" y una toma alternativa de "Double Talk". El grupo tambien cuenta con Ernie Henry, Milt Jackson, Curly Russell y Kenny Clarke.
